To be a true believer on Christ Jesus, The Gospel, that means understanding that He offered The New Covenant by His Blood shed upon the cross. It means by that belief, you are under The New Covenant today. It is already manifest by Christ's death on the cross.
Matt 26:26-28
26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is My body."
27 And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink ye all of it;
28 For this is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins."
KJV
So IF... one does not believe that New Covenant ("testament") involving Christ's Blood shed upon His cross, then they have no remission of sins today.
It means for those who do not believe what Jesus said there, that our Lord Jesus' death and resurrection means nothing!
No, those in Christ Jesus today are ALREADY under that New Covenant He offered by His Blood. And we are to remember that by taking of that symbolic cup and the bread in holy communion. So those saying the New Covenant isn't in effect yet today are listening to doctrines of devils from the children of darkness.
